1x1 - The Railway

January 26, 1976

Nothing out of the ordinary even happens on this little railway in the top left-hand corner of Wales. But what ordinarily happens is often fairly extraordinary!

1x2 - The Egg

January 27, 1976

Who lays eggs in a Volcano? Somebody does and Jones and Ivor take the gold-miner's advice and keep it warm - until they hear it sing!

1x3 - The Proper Container

January 29, 1976

What is the proper container for red-hot livestock? The Regulations are quite definite but definitely inflammable. So another, more suitable conveyance must be found.

1x4 - The Alarm

January 30, 1976

Some creatures are real and some are mythical, even if they are good at frying fish, and they want to stay mythical.

1x5 - The Retreat

February 2, 1976

If you want to hide, perhaps the best thing is to pretend you were never there in the first place - even if it does make your friend look a bit of a fool.

1x6 - The Hat

February 3, 1976

Mrs Porty does wear some unusual hats but she wouldn't expect to be arrested for wearing one of them - certainly not in front of the Church Ladies Guild!

1x7 - Old Nell

February 5, 1976

It's a hard life being a sheep dog, especially when the silly sheep and the engine driver need to be rescued. Sometimes railway engines are more sensible than people.

1x8 - Mr Brangwyn's Pigeons

February 6, 1976

Ivor the Engine, when he sings, could charm the very birds off the trees - or at least the pigeons off Miss Price's roof.

1x9 - The Visitor

February 9, 1976

Visitors are always welcome. Even wounded visitors weighing several tons can be accomodated by Mr Hughes the Gasworks.

1x10 - The Invalid

February 10, 1976

Nobody likes to take medicine, but some patients are so unhelpful that even the most patient nurse loses patience and gets the boot.

1x11 - The Boot

February 12, 1976

We can all be recognised by the sort of clothes we wear, but this invalid is rescued by her boot and everybody is happy at last.

1x12 - Banger's Circus

February 13, 1976

If you are far from home it is a great joy if home comes to find you. And what a show it puts on when it does!

1x14 - Mrs Porty's Foxes

February 17, 1976

Some wear fancy hats in order to look beautiful. Some wear them to save their friends - but what else should an engine-driver do?

1x15 - Bluebell

February 19, 1976

A good donkey will always do what she is told, even though she has to run a long way to do it. Luckily there are wheels for the return journey.

1x16 - Dai and the Donkey

February 20, 1976

The dividing line between being a nuisance and being useful depends on what sort of disaster is waiting for a small engine.

1x17 - Gold

February 23, 1976

What is the point in having a bit of gold put by if you can't spend a bit to help your friends when they are in trouble.

1x18 - Mrs Porty

February 24, 1976

Perhaps gold will not do to buy the railway, but Mrs Porty is not going to stand by and let her donkey lose a dear friend.

1x19 - Cold

February 26, 1976

Volcanoes are not really things that people need, but for some they are home from home - if they can find one.

1x20 - The Endowment

February 27, 1976

If you can't find a desirable volcano, then you must seek the help of a learned society which has a lot of half-crowns.
